This is how I would do customization of reports

DOWNLOAD
1) Connect to relavant server via FTP
2) Go to $<module_name>_TOP/reports/US and find report looking for customization.
3) Download it to your PC in BINARY format

UPLOAD
1) After doing necessary changes, compile it and save it and upload(via ftp) in BINARY form to same directory.

Forms
This is bit complicated.
1) Go to $AU_TOP/forms/US directory (source code for all fmb files is located here)
2) Find your .fmb file and download into your PC in BINARY format.
3) Downlaod all pll files to your PC
4) Fix FORMS60_PATH variable if necessary
5) Open form builder,connect to DB and open the form.

Upload
1) After you have done the changes, save it and upload to $AU_TOP/forms/US directory in BINANRY format.

Note : DO NOT COMPILE form on your PC.It need to get compile on server .

Hope that helps
